what happens if i dont start my car?..

[Alex91Mk3]

well i have a 91 mk3 as u can see<<<<<<<<<<<beauty aint she?:biglaugh: :love: ... well the thing is my liscence is suspened for drag racing, speeding, and i got arrested for dwls (driving while liscence suspened)last week, it was an overnight stay. So i dont feel like driving my car until my liscence is good to go. which wont be for anoher month or two... gotta pay like 1,000, 120 hours of cmmunity service, traffic school...kinda sucks. well im going to leave it at my cousins house for a while and was wondering how long can it be left without starting? and what damage can be done because it hasnt been started in a while? thanks... pay your tickets guys....:cry:

Mine sits for 6 months without starting. I just have to recharge the battery!

Or, if your worried about it just have him (or you) start it every once in a while!

Sell/give it to me.

try and start it once or twice a weak. i think the main problem with not starting it for awhile is that condensation gets in your oil pan and starts to form harmfull acids. make sure you let it come up to temp. for a bit. to evaporate any water.

Try to be mature and not get tickets in the first place. If your licence was suspended there was something you did wrong. Really, dont take things the court has given you lightly. IMO it was stupid for driving w.o a licence.

The car will be fine sitting for six months, mine didnt have a problem.

Sitting for just a couple of months shouldn't hurt a thing. If you're really worried about it, just start it once in a while, let it run for about 5 to 10 minutes, then shut it off.

The only other thing would be to put your battery on a trickle charger. It saves the battery from going dead in that time, and it adds to the life of your battery. It's a good idea if you have a lot of stereo equipment installed on your car, some times it will draw power from the battery even when everything is turned off.

if it sits for a very long time you could warp your tires and your rotors could form a bit of rust.

i'd drive it at least once a month, or get somene to drive it for you.

Just start it once a week. Let it run for a bit to get oil circulating through the engine. Otherwise the seals will dry out.
But if it's only for about a month, I wouldn't worry too much...

Your fine pull the battery, or you security system will kill it. I store mine over the winter every year. It sits in a non heated shop where it can get as cold as -30 below and the car lives (ND winters suck). You are fine!!!
Hopefully you have learned raceing ect is so not worth it. You have nothing to prove the car speeks for itself. If you have to race take it to the track!!!!!!

Park where it bothers nobody. Don't leave your keys. Your cousin will most likeley drive it. Unless you really trust your cosin, don't leave your keys. Trust me.:3d_frown:

Can i ask what you did to have all these charges brought against you such as the suspension?
